What can I put under my house to keep mice away?

• <div><p>You can use commercial repellents to help deter rodents, but they often have mixed results. A better solution is preventing rodents from getting under your home in the first place. Using steel wool or foam sealer, plug all potential entry points like gaps and cracks in the foundation. </p><p>Also, consider installing hardware cloth or wire mesh over vents, utility openings, and any openings under the porch or foundation.

Are there any kinds of non-fruiting trees that attract yellow jackets?

• <div><p>Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (<i>Ailanthus altissima</i>), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-rid-spotted-lanternfly.htm">spotted lanternflies</a> love.</p></div>

Q: How effective are natural mice deterrents?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/get-rid-mice-and-spiders-essential-oils.htm">Scented mouse deterrents</a>, like peppermint oil, can be effective in the short term. The pungent smells may temporarily repel mice, but they lose effectiveness as the scent fades or mice get used to it. The main drawbacks are frequent reapplication and the fact that these deterrents don't address the root cause of the infestation, such as entry points or food sources. While they can be part of a broader strategy, scented deterrents alone are rarely enough to eliminate a mouse problem.</p></div>

Q: Should I let wolf spiders live in my house?

• <div><p>Allowing wolf spiders to reside in your home can have benefits, as they serve as natural exterminators, preying on insects and pests that could become problematic. Their presence can help keep your residence relatively free of nuisance insects such as flies, ants, and cockroaches, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Wolf spiders are generally not hostile towards humans, and their bites, although painful, usually don't result in a significant medical concern. If you can coexist peacefully with these spiders and recognize their role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem within your household, they can contribute to a healthier and pest-reduced environment.</p></div>

Q: What smell do roaches hate?

• <div><p>Roaches have a strong sense of smell, and they hate fragrances such as citrus, lavender, eucalyptus, and mint. You can use these scents in cleaning products, as room fresheners, or with plants throughout your home to deter roaches. Using these plants in your garden can also work to keep roaches from entering the home. You can even use these as ingredients to a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-organic-roach-killer-options-are-available.htm">natural roach repellent</a>. </p></div>
